Stretching out as starter in camp Hatch will be viewed as a starting pitcher during spring training, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Impact The Blue Jays have bolstered their starting rotation during the offseason, most recently by adding Yusei Kikuchi on Saturday. As a result, Hatch is a long shot to earn a spot in the starting rotation after spending most of last season at Triple-A Buffalo. Even if the right-hander is unable to secure a spot on the Blue Jays' Opening Day roster, he'll likely be one of the team's top options to serve as a spot starter after stretching out during spring training.

Dealing with hamstring tightness Hatch exited Thursday's game against the Twins with right hamstring tightness.
Impact Hatch exited Thursday's game after 30 pitches, with beat reporters suggesting that he looked uncomfortable throughout the outing.

Joins taxi squad for road trip The Blue Jays will include Hatch (hamstring) on their taxi squad for their seven-game road trip that begins Monday in Tampa Bay, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Impact Hatch isn't expected to be added to the 28-man active roster unless the Blue Jays need lose a pitcher to an injury or need someone to eat innings out of the bullpen, but his inclusion on the taxi squad is an indication nonetheless that he's moved past the hamstring issue he picked up his last appearance with the big club Sept. 11 in Baltimore. The Blue Jays optioned Hatch to Triple-A Buffalo a day later, but he didn't make an appearance for the affiliate before joining the taxi squad.
